It is sometimes hard to convey feelings through conventional writings, at such times; poetry comes in handy as it enables one to convey strong feelings and images. Poetry flees us from the constraints that are brought by prosaic writing. Poetry is able to move a subject from the ordinary to the extraordinary.

In her poem ‘How do I Love Thee', Elizabeth Barret expresses a feeling of love to her significant other. She tells us that the ways of loving are many and she needs to count them. She further displays a very strong feeling that her love is a three-dimensional love thus making it true and real. The measurements of her love are both physical and spiritual and they pertain to her soul. She shows her love as being on the same level as the basic needs-food, water, air kinship, loves and shelter, thus her love needs attention at all times. She clearly shows that she loves not from obligation but from her own will. She requires no praise for loving him since it is for the sake of love itself that she loves him.
